Hopscotch, a new art exhibit, is now open in Austin, TX.
Disclosure: I attended a complimentary media preview of Hopscotch. All opinions are my own.
What happens when you let artists play? Hopscotch invites you to find out.
Hopscotch is a new, immersive art exhibit in Austin that allows you to pop into different rooms, each designed by a different artist. Some of the exhibits are interactive, asking you to pull a rope or walk through strings of lights.
If you’re like me and love the Waller Creek Show or the art of James Turrell, Yayoi Kusama, or Dan Flavin, you’ll enjoy the light-focused exhibits. Watch the lights change colors and take on the challenge of initiating the color change.
These photos might give a taste of what the exhibits are like but you’ll want to see it for yourself to be fully immersed in the light and accompanying sounds.

Hopscotch was co-founded by Austin entrepreneurs Nicole Jensen and Hunter Inman, and they curated the art exhibit. Light & Sound features local, national, and international artists.
It’s hard not to take a photo but as I’m sure the creators and artists prefer, take in the exhibit first and see it for what it is and not how it would look on your Instagram feed.
This exhibit is a family-friendly place where everyone can play. Your eyes and ears will enjoy the wonder and maybe it’ll even spark your creative side.
If you want to see this version, you have until the end of March. This summer, Hopscotch will move to San Antonio for a new, permanent exhibit featuring new artists and exhibits.
